This year's open exhibition winner, Tennessee artist, Travis Graves will be presenting a selection of his sculptures in the gallery from October 22- November 23. His work seeks to engage questions of how we view the environment and identify our relationship to the world in which we exist.

Graves states, " Sometimes our relationships are even, consistent, harmonious, and balanced. At other times it becomes more irregular, setting us off balance with ourselves and putting in motion consequences."

A reception for the artist is planned for November 13, from 6-8pm during our Second Thursday Art Night. The artist will be providing an artist talk at 7pm during the reception to discuss his work. There will be a catalog for sale to accompany this exhibition.

The Target Gallery is the national exhibition space of the Torpedo Factory Art Center. The Target Gallery promotes high standards of art by continuously exploring new ideas through the visual media in a schedule of national and international exhibitions. The gallery hosts nine exhibits annually--some juried, some curated--featuring a variety of themes and artists. In an effort to keep our perspective challenged, our exhibits are usually composed of artists outside of the Torpedo Factory and represent artistic views from across the nation and around the world.
